"Another example is that while Jun Sun-shao was recuperating at home, the heroes of the Dugu Family rushed forward. I remember that Jun Sun-shao used to stay as far away from the seven of them as possible. But this time, he took them down in one fell swoop. Then, he made a bet with Lord Wudi, and made the Dugu Family owe the Jun Family ninety million silver taels of debt through the Aristocratic Hall's auction.
"I heard that one of the Eight Great Masters, Solitary Eagle, has mysteriously stayed at the Jun Family. He he, Jun Sun-shao, do you want me to continue?" Li Youran looked at him tenderly and said in a soft voice, "I don't understand. Why is your shadow in everything? You're really a mysterious and unfathomable person! "
A cold light flashed in Jun Moxie's eyes. He laughed mischievously and said, "Actually, I'm also very curious. Young Master You Ran's shadow seems to be everywhere. It's really extraordinary. From the Jianghu to the Imperial Court, from the First Grade to the Great Masters … Young Master You Ran, your disfigured face seems to be everywhere. Even if you don't care about it, aren't you afraid of scaring the children? Even if you can't scare the children, it's not good to scare the flowers and plants … "
Li Youran's eyes flickered, and a faint sharpness flashed in them. Then, he returned to his usual elegant and gentle demeanor. He seemed very embarrassed as he said in a soft voice, "Third Young Master, your surname is Jun."
"Nonsense! I'm a descendant of the Jun Family. Don't tell me that Young Master You Ran's surname isn't Li? "Jun Moxie snorted.
"Same here!" Li Youran's eyes became distant and profound. He took a deep breath and said, "Third Young Master, I've always looked down on you. But ever since the Jade Coral exploded … he he …"
Li Youran suddenly raised his head and looked straight into Jun Moxie's eyes, "Third Young Master, don't treat everyone as fools. There are many smart people in this world. You're certainly smart, but others aren't either! "
"Is that so? Young Master You Ran must be one of these 'others', right? " Jun Moxie laughed savagely and squinted at him. "If you hadn't ruined Rong Jing at home, would you have thought of it?"
Hearing him mention disfigurement again, Li You Ran's eyes flashed a trace of bitterness. Soon after, he smiled in a carefree manner. His eyes were gentle, and even had a tinge of devilish color. He smiled and said, "Indeed, the explosion of the Jade Coral made me think a lot and understand a lot of things. Although I wasn't sure before, many people who I didn't pay attention to before have entered my eyes. And many people who were originally in my eyes have drifted away. It turns out that everything may not be under my control. But this is even more interesting."
"So, I should be grateful for that explosion." Li Youran took a leisurely step forward and said slowly, "Jun Sun-shao, what do you think?"
Jun Mo Xie laughed and said, "This can be considered as turning misfortune into blessing, a blessing in disguise, right?"
"You're right. Indeed, that's what I meant. " Li Youran nodded seriously. Then, she looked at Jun Moxie and said, "But, I never doubted you. I didn't believe that a debauchee could scheme against me. It wasn't until the Aristocratic Hall's auction that I realized that Jun Moxie … can't be underestimated …"
"It can't be. Don't tell me that there was a loophole in the auction?" Jun Moxie had thought that there was a problem in this aspect. This was one of the reasons why he had tested Li Youran today.
"Of course there was a loophole! Moreover, the loophole wasn't small. " Li Youran stood still. The two of them had already reached the entrance of the hall. Everyone else had already gone in. But, Li Youran wanted to finish her words outside, "Tang Yuan … a man who can lose his wife unexpectedly came up with such a brilliant idea. He quietly stirred up a storm in the capital and caused chaos in the capital … Third Young Master, don't you think it's strange? Tang Yuan, does he have the qualifications? In other words, is he qualified? "
"So, that's how it is!" Jun Moxie had finally understood that there were no loopholes in the matter. But, there were loopholes in people. However, you, Li Youran, have underestimated the people of the world. Fatty's conduct was indeed unbearable. But, I've given the general direction for this auction. But, I've managed to arrange sixty to seventy percent of the arrangements. Fatty's talent in business is very commendable. But, Jun Dashao certainly wouldn't let Li Youran know about this!
"The more chaotic the capital gets, the better. The more chaotic the capital gets, the safer the Li Family, the Jun Family, the Dugu Family, and the other aristocratic families will be. The lives and deaths of other people will improve the safety of the aristocratic families at this moment. So, we'll have time to take a breather. " Li Youran smiled, "Our Li Family will also benefit from this auction. But, the benefits won't be that great."
"Then, shouldn't you be thanking me?" Jun Moxie put on the appearance of a benefactor. He looked at Li Youran.
"I'm afraid that I won't be able to escape if the Third Young Master wants to kill me." Li Youran didn't pay attention to his words. She continued to speak, "But, it's not impossible for me to kill the Third Young Master. Haha, my master is here. Your Jun Family also has a Solitary Eagle. "
Li Youran smiled gently, "There's a balance between us."
"Our Li Family belongs to the government, and the Dugu Family belongs to the military. But, I don't dare to break this balance for the time being. And, I believe that you don't want to break it either. But as long as one of us dies, the balance will be gone. What do you say, Third Young Master? "Li Youran smiled confidently.
"Young Master You Ran has great foresight. You're right. The world is very balanced and harmonious. "Jun Moxie smiled. But, he was secretly determined in his heart. [This balance can't be broken for the time being. But when the time comes, I don't mind touching your head in the dark. It's not that difficult for me to do that either!
"I can't imagine what the Third Young Master will do. But, I, Li Youran, won't go overboard for the time being!" Li Youran smiled, "I won't dare to go overboard for the time being. But, the Third Young Master will be the first opponent that I must get rid of if certain conditions are met. "
Li You Ran's words were very serious and solemn. Rather than saying it was a polite remark, it would be better to say that it was a promise. Given Li You Ran's character, these words could already be said to be very open and honest, and very magnanimous.
"I believe you!" The corners of Jun Moxie's mouth crooked. He added two words in his heart. [It'll be strange!] If Li Youran had the opportunity to get rid of him without anyone suspecting him, Jun Moxie didn't doubt that he would kill him without any hesitation.
It would be the same if he were in Li Youran's shoes. But, the current situation was just as Li Youran had said. The two of them were the Li Family's and the Jun Family's biggest hope. This balance couldn't be broken! Otherwise, Li Youran would've died in the hands of Jun Moxie.
And, Jun Moxie wouldn't be in the mood to chat with him.
"So, we might as well have some fun." Li Youran didn't know whether she believed Jun Moxie or not. The corners of her mouth slightly crooked. She smiled and said, "With the Third Young Master's current ability, he wasn't as relaxed as You Ran in the past few years. Speaking of which, the two of us can be said to be in the same boat. We're both pitiful people who didn't have a childhood. So, we've never had fun. "
"So, we might as well make up for it. Don't you think we can have a playmate? "Li Youran seemed to be very interested in this question.
Jun Moxie coughed. He thought, [I may not have had a childhood like you. But, Jun Moxie's childhood was much more colorful than yours …]
"Do you want to play with murder? Or do you want to play with arson? "Jun Moxie smiled mischievously.
"Murder and arson … can be considered a kind of fun." Li Youran tilted her head and thought for a moment. She seemed to be looking forward to it. "But, we've already played …"
Then, the two of them stepped into the Hall of Cherishing Fragrance. The moment they entered the door, Li Youran said in a low voice, "There are very few people in the younger generation who can play with me like this. Moreover, they've repeatedly made me suffer losses. They're very interesting playmates … We might as well continue to play."
His eyes were looking at the ground when he said this. His voice was also very low. It seemed as if he was talking to himself.
"Continue to play?" Jun Moxie suddenly burst into laughter. He looked at the hundreds of people who had already arrived in the Hall of Cherishing Fragrance. Then, he shouted in an incomparably vulgar manner, "Then, let's continue to play! Haha … I'll play with you guys … "
Everyone sneered in unison. Then, there were the sounds of coquettish pouting and low laughter. It turned out that the side of the Great Hall had become the Country of Cherishing Fragrance. All the beauties and talented women had gathered together in the hall. A fragrant wind had lingered in the air. And, Jun Moxie clearly felt that there were two pairs of eyes that were as bright as autumn waters. They were calmly gazing at him.
Li Youran heard Jun Moxie's roguish tone. She couldn't help but silently smile. A bright light flashed in her eyes. There were hundreds of people in the Great Hall. But, Li Youran knew that Jun Moxie's words were meant for her alone.
The two of them separated, and didn't look at each other again.
Both of them had their own cards up their sleeves. And, they had also seen through each other's cards. But, their hearts had become much heavier than before.
Opponent!
These two words appeared in their minds at the same time!
Jun Dashao finally reined in his thoughts. Hypocrite Li was the only opponent of the same level as him. But, he couldn't put all his thoughts on him alone. After all, there were other things to do in this Golden Scholarly Scholar Feast! He looked up, and discovered that there was something different about this feast.
It was a very big, and very special difference!
That high and aloof table at the top belonged to the Emperor of the Tian Xiang Empire. Could it be that he was going to participate in this feast personally?
The other four sides should belong to the three princes and other members of the Imperial Family. The so-called other members of the Imperial Family were probably Prince Equivalent Yang Huai Nong's faction. It couldn't be helped. The Emperor of the Tian Xiang Empire didn't have many children. Even his brothers didn't have many children. There should've been an extra table for Princess Reimu. But, the Princess should've been sharing it with the other ladies.
There were a few tables not far away from them. Those were undoubtedly reserved for the heads of the aristocratic families. But, why was there a single table at a slightly higher level? It seemed to be a transcendent table. But, who was it for? This was truly unfathomable!
